Page 233 – Somebody who loves me (reprise)

That’s the end of the Road trip story. It’s great when a summer story somehow takes us all the way to the end of December. I’ll just schedule the holiday episode for next Summer. Just kidding… there is no holiday episode (FX: sound of children crying). Hope your holidays were/are/will be everything you want them to be. Love, me & JFA.

Now updates Mondays! (It’s better than “when I can” but not quite back to 3x/week. I’m working on it!)

Updates brought to you by my personal blood, sweat & tears… and my PATRONS. Become one today, only $3/.month gets you comic updates the day before everyone else! Donations of all sizes support this comic, go towards increasing the rate of updates, AND warm my heart. Win-win-win.

If you’re just tuning in, catch up on the first half of this story HERE.

And if that’s not enough to catch up, read about Jerkface and her summer plans HERE. And HERE. Or better yet, hit FIRST in the menu and read the whole thing from the beginning. It’s all gold, I tell you. GOLD. And if you like it, share it (shares and word of mouth go a long way for me. And are free.) Tell your friends! Social media something or other! Jerkface. It’s yours to give.

This anthology of comics and writing, edited by Hope Nicholson, features work from Margaret Atwood, Danielle Corsetto, Soha Kareem, ME, and also did you notice MARGARET ATWOOD. Like the same Margaret Atwood who wrote The Handmaid’s Tale, that featured heavily in THIS Jerkface Story? The same Margaret Atwood that tweeted at me (below)? YES, THAT ONE.

I was interviewed by the Geekhard podcast about the Secret Loves of Geek Girls!Check it out!

If you’re on twitter follow @HopeLNicholson and me, on my more general twitter handle @GillianGDotCom. (My @JerkfaceComics handle is for JFA updates and news, so OBVIOUSLY follow both).

Ryan North, writer of Marvel’s Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, Dinosaur Comics and more, is doing another Shakespearian choosable-path adventure! This time, it’s Romeo and/or Juliet! And this time, it’s personal. To me anyway! Because I drew an ending in it!

Here’s what I noticed: Because I didn’t number the Fashion pages, the 200th comic just breezed by! But not without some acknowledgment… Literary icon (and one of the world’s finest writers) Margaret Atwood responded to my tweet after reading the Book Report story (about A Handmaid’s Tale) and then making a sweet joke about Aunt Lydia!

So, without official fanfare, the 200th page of Jerkface was honoured more than I could have ever imagined. Thank you to Our Lady Atwood, to everyone who has been reading this from the beginning, and to every new reader! To the Patrons who support Jerkface financially (you can too!), the people who share this comic with their networks, and to the people who just enjoy it alone: Thank you thank you!
